"IMSCREWS 1/2 x 3-1/2 Heavy-Duty Lag Screws - 304 Stainless Steel (5 pcs)
Extreme Strength for Structural Timber Joints When projects demand industrial-grade holding power, these 1/2 diameter bolts deliver. Perfect for heavy-duty timber framing, mounting large deck ledgers, or securing structural steel to 4x4 or 6x6 posts. The 3.5-inch length provides the depth required for massive load-bearing connections.
Vise-Like Clamping Power Our partially threaded shank allows the bolt to spin freely in the outer board, drawing timber members together into a gap-free, rock-solid joint. This eliminates the bridging effect common in long full-thread screws, ensuring a stable connection that won't loosen under stress or high vibration.
304 Stainless Exterior Defense Forged from premium 18-8 (304) Stainless Steel for ultimate weather resistance. compatible with ACQ pressure-treated lumber, preventing structural decay and unsightly rust streaks on high-value cedar, redwood, or deck framing.
